Private searches for sensitive roles

Defence companies often need a discreet route to market. We agree the message, approach candidates directly, share product and customer details in stages and arrange NDAs at the right point. Every conversation follows the confidentiality rules set at the start.

Engineers across hardware and software

Autonomy, embedded systems and sensor products need engineers who understand how code and hardware behave together. We have spent years building relationships with this close-knit talent market and know how to start credible conversations.

Confidential searches are standard in defence recruitment and TalentHub runs them as the default for this sector. We approach candidates directly without naming you until there is mutual interest.

We have experience with roles requiring high level or security clearance (SC, DV, NATO), but we do not offer a background check beyond our assessment of candidates through interviewing.

We have worked with most of the leading defencetech companies in Estonia (Krattworks, HEVI Optronics, Milrem, DefSecIntel and more) and Lithuania (Aktyvus Photonics, Stratis, Unmanned Defence Systems, Luna Robotics). Our experience spans across many specialty vectors, including hardware, software and executive recruitment.
